You must also interview the clients family and household. .......
Family members involvement can be key for the following reasons:
- At a sentencing hearing, they make good witnesses.
- Their presence during trial creates an atmosphere in which it is easier to save your clients life.
- Family support can help make your client more self-assured and a better witness if he needs to take the stand.
- Family support can prevent your client from engaging in self-destructive behavior (e.g. acting out violently in prison or court).
